This was such a heartfelt and genuine book with terrific queer representation that also addresses identity, divorce, coming of age, romantic feelings, friendship, family, and more! The main characters are 4 middle schoolers - Twins Milo and Lina, Avery, and Mac, and their respective families who come to Provincetown for a week every year at the largest LGBTQ+ family gathering in the states.
But this year, things are different, for all of the kids and their families.
Really appreciated the in depth storylines and character growth for each of the kids. I was rooting for them all! The only criticism I had is that the adults weren't too distinguishable to me, but they were more side characters and I appreciated the theme that sometimes parents don't know the answer to everything either.
Beautiful theme of family and togetherness! Excellent representation including lesbian, gay, bi, trans, asian, and learning disability. I know kids are going to appreciate this one!
Recommended for ages 10+.
